I pressure washed it yesterday and started taking inventory of all the stuff we're going to need - $$$. Cole reminded me that it's supposed to be a duct tape car and I told him to police me if I get too out of control. For all it's missing, it's a very solid car. The worst rust is behind the peeling bondo on the passenger quarter. The floors, fenders trunk are solid as a rock.

First step is getting it running. It turns over, but there's no spark or fuel so we have some things to sort out. It's got an old Mallory dual point on it that I'm going to try to save.

Getting my feet wet over at the AMC forum so I don't bore all the Pontiac folks with this project. I'm really missing the familiarity of Pontiacs and the resto market right now.







Why do people stack hundreds of pounds of crap on hoods and roofs? Seen quite a few pictures and videos of cars outside or in a garage with a mountain of stuff on them. Just trying to crush the roof in I guess.
